The Price of Wine

You know that bottle of Berringer White Zinfendel that you can get at HEB for about $5? Here that same bottle is S$26, or about $16.50US. Any form of alcohol...beer, white, liquor is a lot more expensive here. So when we had dinner and two glasses of wine for S$12.50 per person you know that is a good deal. Avery and I had dinner at the Brittish Club with Zoe and her two little ones (Liam & Katie) and another family they met there. Normally when you go out to eat you can expect to pay about $14 for a margarita, $10 for a beer and about $12 for a glass of wine. Granted being a member of the Brittish Club means that you have paid some form of membership fee and probably monthly dues as well so if you factor that in the price of the meal it might just be about the normal price if not more. However, we went as guests so I thought it was a good deal. The other really cool thing was there were monkeys sitting right outside were we where sitting. They were soooo cuuutttteeee! Avery took a picture with my cellphone but I can't figure out how to get the pictures off my phone to add to my post. There was even a baby one. Zoe said one time they were there the monkeys were "pinching" the pringles off the tables...translated to American English I believe she meant they were swiping the potato chips off the tables. Back to the subject of alcohol...anyone that comes to see us will have to visit the duty free shops in the airport to help us stock our bar.
